San Francisco 49ers FB Bruce Miller was released Monday, Sept. 5, after being arrested for an alleged assault. Miller was arrested on four felony counts, including two of criminal threats, one of assault with a deadly weapon and one of a misdemeanor battery charge. His bond was listed as $178,000.

Fantasy Tip: McDonald is still expected to have a sizable role in the San Francisco offense, and a beat writer's projections shouldn't be considered gospel. Still, beat writers usually have a good handle on the pulse of a team and McDonald is apparently not standing out early in training camp as the top guy at the position which is bad for his fantasy outlook.

Fantasy Tip: It sounds like the 49ers are planning on including Miller in the offense to some degree, but it remains to be seen if he can provide fantasy-relevant numbers. Leave him on the waiver wire for now.

Fantasy Tip: Miller gives the 49ers versatility as he can play running back, fullback and tight end, but it looks like he'll primarily be in the tight end role this season. Garrett Celek and Vance McDonald at least should play ahead of Miller at tight end as long as they are healthy, so Miller's fantasy value is minimal right now.

The San Francisco 49ers do not play until Monday, Dec. 23, in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, so there is no rush to fill the void at the fullback position with FB Bruce Miller (shoulder) done for the season. One option might be free-agent DL/FB Will Tukuafu (49ers), who was released from the team earlier this year. A source close to the situation confirmed Tukuafu worked out for the team Tuesday, Dec. 17.

San Francisco 49ers FB Bruce Miller (shoulder) is likely to miss the rest of the regular season and playoffs after injuring his left shoulder in Week 15. "It doesn't look good. It looks like he has an injury to his scapula," head coach Jim Harbaugh said. "He does so many things in the protection, in the run game, receiving out of the back field. He is a multitalented, multi-use player. Special teams contributor on two, three phases. It's a loss." The Niners are expected to re-sign FB Owen Marecic to fill Miller's shoes. RB Anthony Dixon could also be used at fullback.

San Francisco 49ers FB Bruce Miller (arm) left the Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to an arm injury, and he will have X-rays Monday, Dec. 16. He did not have X-rays after the game due to swelling, and he was wearing a sling. However, Miller is confident it isn't a serious injury. "We'll take a closer look at it, but it's just a stinger," Miller said. "Just the soreness, it feels like it (the pain) is all over."
